Monnette Making Moves

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to the player on the button and he made it 14,000 to go. John Monnette was in the small blind and cut out a three-bet to 28,500. The big blind folded and the button thought for about 30 seconds before tossing out a call.

The two saw a flop of and Monnette continued for 22,000. This bet sent his opponent into the tank for well over two minutes. All of the while, Monnette sat motionless except for the riffling of some chips. Ultimately, Monnette's opponent kicked his cards in and Monnette was pushed the pot. His stack is now up to about 550,000.
